Let the side of an equilateral triangle be ‘a’ 
  Area   =3a24=S sq. cm
   a2=4S3    ......(i)
Now the length of wire =     
= perimeter of triangle                 

= perimeter of circle
⇒   3a    = 2πr
  r=3a2π 
 Then area of circle
πr2=π3a2π2     .....(ii)
 put the value of from equation (i)
 πr2=33Sπ
